| It would be interesting to know how many of these candidates consider Columbia to be their first choice.
I wonder if this list would be cut down by 20-25% if many of these applicants get accepted at Yale, Harvard, MIT, or Wharton. | |

| I plan on applying in the upcoming year!
I noticed this thread was quite desolate : )
And yes, I anticipate to apply ED
Columbia is my absolute #1 choice, and the only Ivy to which I plan on applying
None of the other Ivies interest me at all.. | |

| in response to "what do you need to do to get in," there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First of all, the application process is very much a hollistic one. Yes, your transcript is important, as are your SAT scores. But don't neglect the rest of the application either - they want to know what you do outside of the classroom and how you use your free time. They want to know how much you've challenged yourself academically and otherwise. Even the little questions like "which books have you read in the last year that weren't required for school" can be indicative of how hard you push yourself as a student, both in and outside the classroom. | |

| I'm planning to apply early, too... it's quite a reach but I figure there's no harm in trying. And I'm not looking at the other Ivies, either. | |

| Well, for the first 2.5 years of my high school career I was infatuated with Columbia; I always thought I'd apply ED.
But, who am I kidding. I definitely don't have the credentials and applying early wouldn't even help. Of course, admissions is a crapshoot, so anything can happen I guess.
So, anyway, the answer to the question is 'most likely, no'. Pity. But good luck to everyone else! | |

| same here but as you said, admissions is a crapshoot sometimes. There's no harm in applying. After all if you don't apply your chances are 0; if you apply at least you have a small chance. | |

| I loved my visit to Columbia. I can see myself there and will apply. It's the first time I've felt this way. I started my essay yesterday and now feel the process has begun in earnest. | |
